  ESPN.com: WNBA - Hammon a handful for foes this season
Hammon has been a fan-favorite and a valuable reserve in New York since the Liberty signed her as a free agent out of Colorado State in 1999.

In 35 minutes against Minnesota on June 6, for example, Hammon was 12-for-16 from the field, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range, and 3-for-3 at the line in her second start of the year (in place of injured Vickie Johnson).
